Wow, you must be a genius, you managed to come up with that all by yourself? Did you hear how he explained the 2.5D games? It's a game where you got 3D rendered backgrounds, with 2D controls. It's not a correct term if you want to be a ***** about it, but game developers use it, not only Yatzee. It's a term that's been around for a long time, and if you haven't caught up with it maybe you should think it through before whining about it at a place where the term is explained perfectly.

How could it be 3.5 it would have half of the 4th dimension but there is no such thing as 4th dimension

So I noticed that the knight was actually the main character for 300. He tends to spartan kick a lot of enemies o_O

So dimensions can be cut into half now can it. Whats 3.5D going to be like?

Still, I doubt I would buy Xplosion Man anyway, if not because it sounds like a cheap portal knock off but mainly as I only buy classic games I miss a lot. Like Sonic 2.

No such thing as the 4th dimension? Since when?

Haha, i will not fall for such charlatanry, fools. Everyone knows there are FIVE dimensions :)

Also, I was going to get Trine but abstained when I saw the atrocious price.

for anyone interested voxels is an early 90s method of showing 3D terrain, 2D things are a grid of squares shaded in pixels, voxels are that in a cube of volume pixels = voxels with unused ones being made transparent. Also seen in Comanche a helicopter sim

I have failed to EVER hear anything about a Sierpinski Gasket being partially dimensional. And relating to another post buried in here. I have also failed to meet a scientist whom believes that times is considered a partial dimension either; the only thing I've ever heard is that time is 4th dimensional.

I am both intrigued and perplexed by the notion of partial dimension (not the video). However, I don't entirely see how it corresponds to the coordinate-definition of dimensions I've gotten so used to with elementary vectors. Having half a coordinate seems a bit like dividing a quantum. But I guess it adherres to some extened definition.

The Video: Though in an other area I complent you on once again succeeding in spreading your own terminology.

Then you have failed to read much about the Sierpinski Gasket. Check wikipedia, or if you actually want to learn about it, read Chaos and Fractals by Peitgen et al.

why cant yahtzee dp wiiware
What is dp? I you mean why he doesn't do WiiWare it's because he hates the Wii and considers the system to be a complete waste of time and money.

My bad I hit the wrong key and I think he might like wiiware because it's sticks to basics but in a woundedful way that only wii can (eyes start to twinkle and grow huge)

I'm not saying I disagree with you, cos the WiiWare does have some good games on it. It's just as I stated above Yahtzee hates the Wii. He doesn't like the games on it so I doubt the WiiWare will convince him to review it.

I'm going to burn for necromancy and terrible puns...

But you can have half a dimension. Hence the expression halftime. :p
